 ==== Description ====
 The Monterey K2AX is a AT layout keyboard produced by Monterey. It's currently been documented to come with ABS doubleshot keycaps and Mitsumi KLT((VelonicV's DT WTS post[[https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=485358&hilit=monterey#p485358]])) or Alps SKCM Blue switches.
-It's currently been documented to have been rebranded by Suntouch and Jameco Electronics((Geekhack post[[https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61719.0]])). It's also been documented as Staff[[https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?p=485358&hilit=monterey#p485358]])) branded but Staff was a sub-brand of Monterey ((APC 1987 Hardware Buyers Guide[[https://archive.org/details/apc_1987_hardware_buyers_guide/page/84/mode/2up]]))

+Solder (yes I know I need to redo some joints), scroll lock keycap and switches are not original. SKCM Blue top housing and slider were swapped into the switch photo for documentation purposes as that was the switch it originally came with.
+==== Unconfirmed Claims ====
-== Acknowledgements ==
+The K2AX could also come with SMK Vintage Linear switches or one if its many clones.\\ A listing for one which revealed the switch came up on eBay around 2023,((eBay preview image and discussion around it's switches[[https://imgur.com/a/aKBbvu5]])) although only a preview image of the keyboard survives.\\
-Any acknowledgements you may have
+It uses different keycaps, likely the same ones commonly found on Hottek keyboards, so this version should be easily identifiable.
